"Only violent organisers that I like can have privacy!" (notice how they don't mention antifa)
I wonder how they propose to moderate a private messaging platform without compromising the thing that makes it what it is.

#decentralise everything

This is why I'm interested in #matrix

@Atlas
@briar also works offline in case the internet is taken down

@Atlas Also you might be interested in Session. It’s peer-to-peer, not just federated.

@Hyolobrika @Atlas Took me forever to find the site but I did:

@realcaseyrollins @Hyolobrika

#Session is great, but I'm trying to find an alternative to #WhatsApp but #Matrix seems like the only one that checks all the boxes

@Atlas @realcaseyrollins @Hyolobrika I endorse matrix. It's federated, and the app is actually pretty good. Of course there's still a server for an "attacker" to go after, but I don't want perfect to be the enemy of the good. (also why I'm on the fediverse)

@ademan @Hyolobrika @realcaseyrollins @Atlas
With matrix, you can host your own server, or join a myriad of different servers out there. It is federated just like mastodon and pleroma.
I personally am on the librem.one instance of both mastodon and matrix because that is where I learned about them and I like their company philosophy so far. But they are far from the only ones out there.

@jlcrawf @Hyolobrika @realcaseyrollins @Atlas Oh I know, I host my own matrix server. It's just having a server at all *is* something of a vulnerability vs a strictly p2p system. If I attracted the ire of someone sufficiently powerful they could probably take my server down by pressuring the right entities.

@ademan @jlcrawf @Atlas @realcaseyrollins have you heard of #Twister?
